About this Deal

9/1/11 1:10pm Est Update: Thank you to all the people that haave been checking out my post=)

Seems currently there is nothing more i can add to this post until we get an actual date of the restock. TP is pretty much sold out everywhere and people are selling them for triple the price online. Hp.com seems to be our last chance for getting it for $99/$149.

It is confirmed Hp will be producing one last batch for sale before the end of October.

All i can say to you guys is to keep yourself posted and make sure you sign up for the notifications at hp.com.(If you haven't, link is below)

Also keep yourself updated, I suggest you to follow the two representatives from hp on twitter, they have been keeping everyone updated on the status of availability and will be answering questions also:

--------------------------8/31/11 2am Est. update: As you have known by now or for the people who have not been updated about the status of the touchpads to restock. There will not be any availability for a at least a few weeks at HP.com

Thank you for your interest in the HP TouchPad and webOS. The overwhelming demand for this product in recent days has made it difficult to fulfill your request at the present time, and we are working to make more available as soon as possible. While we do not yet have specific details, we know it will be at least a few weeks before we have a limited quantity available again."

8/23/11 - Best Buy: At this time all remaining TouchPad inventory is on its way to our stores and will be arriving throughout the week. Best Buy will no longer be selling the Touchpad on BestBuy.com, or any other Best Buy channel other than our stores. We cannot share specifics on the timing or quantity of these shipments. As soon as a store receives shipment, it will be merchandised on the sales floor and will be processed on a first come first serve basis. - Thanks belarus94!

Was this a great deal for you?

Well I wasn't going to update until I got news of when the touchpad were going to come back in stock. I will be updating all at once. I know it's going to be pretty close, might be earlier than expected, maybe early October, so keep your ears open and keep up with the news

Our Best buy here was giving out tickets one per person last saturday, I went down at 4:00 AM and got my touchpad at 9:00 AM...Worth the wait...When I went down at 4:00 AM there were 13 ppl in front of me. Am glad it ot was one per person ;).

It is well worth the effort, since now it is completely sold out everywhere and Hp.com seems to be the last place to get it for this price. People are selling it for triple the price. Well again i'm glad you got yours=)

I guess your last chance will be at hp.com. Make sure to sign up for the notification (Link in post). It is confirmed that everybody will be sent the notification at the same time, for everybody to get a fair shot. There will be more news of its availability in the next few days.

Ok, so I finally got through to HP small biz this morning (3rd try, called right at 8am EST at their opening and it still took 40 minutes to get a rep)!!! I placed my order on Saturday 8/20 and received a confirmation Sunday 8/21. When looking at the order the original ship date was listed as 8/22 (obviously didn't ship)..so I got nervous and have been trying to call all week. The rep reconfirmed that my order was 'locked in' but said it may take them 2-4 weeks to ship the backlog of orders. She also restated that they planned to cancel anyone's order placed after 4am CST Monday. Hope this info helps on the search...I wouldn't expect the HP site to show inventory for a while if they're having this much trouble clearing up the order backlog.

I'm ok as long as they aren't putting me on about delivering on my order. Heard a lot of stories of other retailers cancelling, which is why I sat on the phone. I am hoping that dumping half a million WebOs devices into the market will spark some (if only minor) developer interest.

I went to my local bestbuy about 3 pm today. (I had a golf tournament) They were sold out. Salesman said they had about 60 this morning and sold out in 90 minutes. There must have not been a lot of people going to check on these. Buffalo NY
